Emotional eater?

If your body didn't need the food you wouldn't have eaten. Bored, emotional or what ever is not the main cause of eating. It can be the thing that push you to allow the body to get food. But that's it. Boredom doesn't need food. Noone ever criticised people for eating when they were happy in a party. We are emotional beings, eating or not.

There is one important thing missing in this cycle:

and that destroys the whole illustration. It is restriction. Restriction is the cause of "over"eating. You are not being an over eater or emotional eater when you have been restricted your intake of food. You have had reactive eating, a result of starvation, a reaction on hunger signals.
"But why do I eat so much?" Do you eat more than you restricted?
It is the ED thoughts that causes the guilt and remorse (and restricting behaviour). This illustration sucks.
